...but it needs a generator which requires gas. So, in essence it needs gas and lugging around a space-sucking generator. That just defeats the whole purpose of the Cybertruck. I'll leave the Cybertruck in the garage.
The point is:
On this epic adventure, I don't want to side-track and take...
All that is good and dandy here in the states or any modern well developed country. No one for sure will take any Cybertruck and drive it down into South America for a mini-adventure. I would my Landcruiser. Not my Cybertruck. There is gas galore along the way into South America.

My current plan, and I don't think it will change , is to get the the tri-motor and FSD.
Tri-Motor: $70K
FSD: $7K
California tax and fees: ~$7.7K
I cannot imagine any factory options or accessories that I would want that would entice me to add to the cost. Not the ATV. Not the solar...
My very first new car purchase in over 50 years on this earth. Automobiles are notoriously bad investments and I've successfully avoided new car purchases like I do Covid-19. BUT I deserve it. #2 helps.
